ReplyDeleteThis is great to hear! Force, these people in this occupational field are thinking about someone other than themselves and the money they are making!
ReplyDelete1. I wrote about this because I thought it was awesome that they were going to release the dolphins and send them to a sanctuary.
ReplyDelete2. No, I didn't have any trouble writing about this topic because it was really great to hear.
3. The purpose for writing this was to look on the positive side of captivity and to show everybody that some aquariums and zoos can change their idea on things.
I love it
ReplyDeleteWell the class clearly liked this post! Everyone loves dolphins that is for sure. It is great to hear that they are trying to create a conservation area they can share with the public, but also allow the animals to have the best lives possible as well. It is great that people are willing to change their minds too.
